About this blog

We are going to retrace the cities and sights we experienced when we served on the USS Canopus AS-34 in Rota Spain in 1966-1968.

We will be flying from JFK airport into Sevilla then renting a car. We will then be visiting Rota (of course!), Puerto, Cadiz, Chipiona, Sanlucar, Arcos, Jerez, Gibraltar, Marbella, Torremolinos, Malaga, Granada. We will then return to Sevilla to tour for a couple days before catching our flight back to NYC.

We are looking forward to sharing our adventures with our Canopus shipmates, friends and family.

For more information about the ship that could fix or repair anything, see our website at www.usscanopus.org.
